VEAZIE, Maine — A Veazie convenience store was held up at gunpoint Sunday evening, and police said they are searching for the robbers.

Police Chief Mark Leonard said a frantic phone call from the owner of the Veazie Mini Mart on U.S. Route 2 came in around 8 p.m., stating she had been robbed by two men.

Leonard said the men, one of whom was armed with a handgun, entered the store and demanded money from the owner.

One of the robbers, a white man dressed in black, took an undisclosed amount of cash from the register while his accomplice, another white man wearing a black and white flannel shirt, light-colored jeans and a gray sweatshirt, took an undisclosed amount of additional store cash from the owner, Leonard explained.
